Th undoraignod Commleaionori of mid County, ' In purtuanco of the law of April 8th, 1856, and February 2(1 th, 1857, roapeotfully represent that the annual aettleinent with the Auditor and Treasurer of iid County herewith filed and made a part of Ihii report, will give an aoourato itatement of the receipt and diaburaemente of the eounty ainco the . annual lettlomont in June, A.

Tho undoralgned doom it unneooaaary to let forth in debato, nil thoir offloial acta and duinga for the last yeart thoy will all be found ntJcnjith in our journal, free to be aeon and examined at all times, and aro noroDj reiurrou . w nniiUr It nroner to atato truit prior to tins iii..iiL wo had borrowed $1500, to enablo the Treasurer to meet the intereat on the 8.M.4N 11.

Mt. V. A P. B. Road Company, amounting in S5.775. are unpaid, and that no means have boon Drovided for mooting the samo. Neither hare any moans been provided for meeting the warrants falling duo noxt March. Tho law authorizing the issuing of theso bonds mado no provisions for assessing a tax to moot such interest. During the last session of the Legislature, a law was enacted that empowors us to borrow monoy for this purposo, ns woll as to assoas a tax to pay tho same. When dotorraing the amount of the lovy for tho coming yoar, it appearing that it would require a lovy equal to, or groator than that of lost year, in order to meet the othor dents and oxponses of the oounty nooosaa-ry to be provided for. Undor auch oirouuistanoos a majority of us thought it not advisable to mako any " lovy to moot the intorost on said bonds. All of the ; stockholders who received suoh bonds of tho county, . havo noglootod and refused to pay tho intorost fall-i ing due on their obligations to the eounty tho last year, and many of thorn havo not paid anything for sovoral years. Such stockholders have not only no-glected to pay thoir intercat, but deny thoir liability to the oounty. A auit has boen commenced in your Court for tho purposo of testing this liability; wo hopo soon to hoar of the mat tor being determined in such a way as will do juatico to tho people of the eounty, and as will enable hortomoet her liability on hor bonds without resorting to taxation. If the cowpons on ;thoso, bonds are mot noxt March, it will become necessary to raise tbe sum of $11,050 in . somoway, botwecn this and that time. Tho amount of County orders outstanding at the time of this ment, was about $390. The taxes levied for exhibit tne present yoar will pay off all the debts, liabilities and expenses of tho coming yoar, except the intorost falling duo on the County bonds as aforosaid.

UNDERWOOD, Shff. Tho Canvass in Ohio. The present canvass in this State is one which commands more attention abroad than almost any other for years past. The continued ascendency of the opposition, in a Stato having so great power in national affairs, is justly regarded as an object worth earnestly striving tor, were it in tne least doubtful. Under existing circumstances, (the result admitting of no rational doubt,) it should bo a matter of duty as well as pride with our people, to make the victory a aingte one to crush out all such abominations as Lecomptcn and tho English Swindle forever from this free commonwealth. We owe to ourselves and to the nation, to rebuke with severity those Representatives who have so disgracefully betrayed their constituents, and so insulted the people of every free State, by voting for a bill which offered ''strong inducements" to the citizens of Kansas to come into the Union as a Slave State, despite thoir repeatedly manifested will, and refusing them admission as a Free State on any terms, until after another census, and even then, unless the population has meantime increased to twice or thrico the number declared sufficient for a Slave State. And not the least, we should place Ohio emphatically on the right side, for the contest for 18CO Our State ticket will undoubtedly receive a large majority of the popular vote. There are, fortunately, but two tickets in the field. That f the opposition is one of tho ablest, and every way best, ever presented f:r the suf- irage or our people, nvcry nominee on it is worthy of public confidence, and has especial fitness for the place to which be is named. Perhaps, also, there could not well have been one made up more satisfactory alike to He publicans, Americans and independent men ol all kinds, who like to vote lor tne uttest can didates, without regard to party machinery. Messrs. peck, Wolcott. TnitALLand Mabtis are men whom all citizens of Ohio will be proud of as officers of our government. The election ol these nominees by an ovorwhelmingmajor ity, will at tho same time hi a richly merited rebuke to a corrupt and treacherous Admin istration, and to its obsequious tools that controlled the Columbus Convention of the 29th July last. Those "hired minions" of Bu chanan proposed to the people of Ohio, to put their endorstnent and seal upon the lnlamous English bill, anil committed their State tick et to tho test. Tho issue should be promptly accepted, and a decisive response truly re turned. Moro important still, if possible, aro the elections in our several Congressional Districts, All over the State, the Democracy havo selec ted as candidates for Congress, cither men who as present members, voted directly (or the Lceompton scliemo itself, or clsofori's "meaner" substitute, which ultimately passed or men who stand on the Columbus l'latiorm. which fully, and in p! tin terms, commits them to the English dodge, and virtually to the original iniquity also, and the "favorite meas ure" of the Administration, if thero are one or two exceptions, where the Anti-Lecomp' tonites indignantly refused a nomination to their ' etrnyors, we have yet to learn that in even these cacs, tho candidates do not stand with their party on the English swindle plat form, which keeps Kansas out of the Union, for being so contumacious as not to come in as a Slave State, on invitation of Congress, with "strong inducements" added. Against these, the opposition have nominated candidates of marked ability and reliable character men committed to tuo right, and worthy or sup port from all who love honesty and fuir deal ing in public affairs. They are candidates on whom ovory opponent el the present Admin istration can and should cordially unite. Ohio owes it to tne country to repudiate, with an emphasis, every cardidato committed to the auppoi t of the National Adminutrat:on. She ehould not have a single representative of that stamp in tho next Congress. Such will be tbe caso, if her people havo any grata fulsensocf whet they owe to the JofJerson- ian Ordinanco, and to those free principles for which we are contending, against all the power of a Federal Government, which labors in season and out of Sanson, to supplant them, and t make tho influences of Slavery predominant throughout tho land. Let us have a full and decisive yordict on these matters, at every precinct. Let us fair ly exhibit the Opposition strength, by a united and complete vote. No man should ex cuse himself in this war. Thorough and ear nest woik should be done, from this time un til tho day of election. 1 bo enemy is dcubly vigilant, to compensate for the injustice and unpopularity ol his cauro. Wo must take care that tho honest opirions of the people are not overborne through inaction or an indolont Mnse of security. Our State ticket Ehould be elected by at least 20,000 majority, and with proper attention and a full vote it will bo. Cm. Qatelle. (fiT C..A. Huesman, of Dayton, has been appointed to a clerkship in the Department of tbe Interior, at Washington, with a salary of $1200. 1 To amonnt on Duplicate 1857 , From the Coshocton Age. True to Hii Calling; and to His FeelingB, Tho editor of tho Burns oriran in our town villifles Mr. Helmick for attending the Wost T, . I r i ir.il n . uuuiuru uieuiuuist vamp Meeting last week Asa is peculiarly unfortunate in this nettv at. tack for everybody about here knows that be bimsell is not much of a church-cocr. and that his favorite candidate for Congress never attends roligious meetings, oxcept at the fune rals oi ueccasca relatives. Aeed men who ohva known him for thirtr years will toll you -that General Burns has been very seldom inside of a church perhaps a ucweii uuius in mat long period. 110 bad a right tostay away from church if lie chose to do so we have no particular complaint to make about that; but we do think the General can and should prevent his mouth-piece, the Democrat, from abusing those who choose to pcrsue a uiirerent course in religious mat' ters. . ' v i Mr. Helmick has been an officer in the Moth odist Church for many years, and had a right to attend that Camp Reeling and Gen. Burns' organ had no right to abuse him for so doing. But the Burns organ charges Mr. Helmick with going to that Camp Meeting for tbe purpose of "electioneering," and exclaims that it is "scandalous." The editor of that shcot should remember that "to the l ure in heart all things are pure;" and if he had been "puro in ncart," no never could navo mustered up sufficient courage to empugn an honest man's motive and tell so base a lie. A Good Hit. Tho charactor of Presdent Buchanan is thus correctly described by Thurlow Weed, in the Albany, (N. Y.) Evening Journal: "He ontored the White Houso with a promise ol freedom to Kansas on his lips, and a scheme for enslaving it in his pocket, lie declared war against circulating notes, and in six weeks was issuing them himself. Before the ink was dry with which he nledced 'Economy," he had drained the treasury of its last uoiiar. isoiore tne printers were done stereotyping his inflexible determination never to borrow, he was in Wall street soliciting a loan! He congratulated tho county on the final end of slavery agitation and has been agitating it ever sinco. Ho ordered Paulding to stop the fillibustcrs, and then recalled him for doing it. Walker, of Nicaragua, ho pronounced an outlaw, and tendered him the hospitalities ol the White House; Walker of Kansas, ho furnUhcd with written instructions and turned him out for obeying tbem. Ho withheld the troips from Utah, where he proclaimed war, in order to keep them in Kansas, where ho insisted all was peace.' Ho soils forts at the wost for a titho of their cost, in order to buy sites at tho east at ten times their value his subordinates in both eases pocketing the difference. Ho is continually asking for new steam frigates, but he will not use thoso he has either on tho coast of Africa or in the Gulf of Mexico. Ho sends out a steamer, ostensibly to catch the s: earner Styx, and orders it to do nothing of the sort. Claiming to be the most frugal of Presidents, ho has spent more than unv of his predecessors. Assuming to be abovo imr- ty prejudices, he makes partizanship tho basis i-wii ui uis iiivuuiiors iu uinncr. Great Republican Victory. Banoou, Me., Sept. 15. 101 towns give Morrill 37,227. Onposi tion, 30,898 which indicates a Republican majority in the Stato of nearly 10,000. Ezta. B. French, Republican, is elected to Congress in the 3d District by 38 majority with one plantation to hear fnm, which will probably increase it to 40. Foster, Republican, is un doubtedly elected in the uth District. All but threo plantations in Aroostook county give Bradbury, Democrat, 908 majority, which shows a gain for Bradbury in Aroo stook county, but not enough to secure his election, isoth branches of the Legislature are largely Republican. A PnEDicnos Verified. The eccentric John Randolph, of Virginia, once said, from his seat in Congress: "The South is as tweof the Democracy of me avoTin, aioj meir negroes'." Verily, John Randolph was a prophot. In the cotton fields ol the South there dwells not a degradod slave who hows bis head in more abject and servile submission to the lash of the oversoer, .than do the Democracy of -.uo iwuu, uiu uiuua, ui uiu wilip 01 iue aouinern siavenoidors. Tbe lawmng, cring ing, sycophantic creatures even seem to tie light in their thraldom and chains. Such a slate of affairs is a burning disgrace to our Republic, but it is beyond question truo. UMia Jlepuotic. Sad Lovb Story. An episode in this year's yellow fever history is recorded by the St. Louis Jlepublican. A young girl of Bordeaux fell in love with an American sailor a native of Maine who happened to be in France, and she eloped with him to America to be married, as her parents were averse to the match. They arrived a short time since at Now Orleans, wore married thoro.but, terrified at tho ravages of the yellow fever, hastened to St. Louis in hopes to escape it. The grim monster, however, had obtained a hold in the young man's vital's, and be arrived at bis destination only to die. The poor French girl, many miles away from her relatives and acquaintances, aflor all her trials and sac rifices, when scarce a wife, is made a widow. and must depend upon charity for subsis tence. CoNartEssioitAT- Nominations Hon. John A. Bingham has been renominated bv the Re publicans of the 21st district of Ohio. In the 15th district the Republicans have nomi nated William Helmick to succeed the noto rious Burns in Congress. Tbe Democrats have taken the lattor as their candidate, thinking, probably, that no Democrat in the district better deserves a good beating than ho. Burns will, of course, be defeated bv a much larcsr maioritr than anv resnertnhla Lecomptonite would have be ;n, but the district is sure to elect a Republican, in any event. Filtsburg Oaxette. ftlrMr. Buchanan's Land commissioner. Hendricks, is now in Indiana making stump speeches for the Administration candidates for Congress. He had better lot the people-manage their own affairs in their own way. "Non-ir.tervention" used to bo eood Demo cratic doctrine, but now it is repudiated with tbe other principles ol tne party. O.

LOOK AT THE RECORD. GEN. BURNS' VOTES IN CONGRESS. Look at tho record, ond then decide whoth-cr you can volo for Burns and whethor the professions of Mr. .Burns aro true, when he says lie wai, not in favor of the Lceompton Constitution, and is in favor of freedom. Whon Mr. Harris, a democrat 'of Illinois' one of the minority of the Conference Com. mittce, asked lcavo to report to the House the reason why the mnjority of that Committee would not comply with tho provisions of tho resolution which appointed them to investi gate the facts concerning the Lecompton Constitution, tho Speaker decided that he had not that privilege, Mr. Harris appealed from the decision of the Chair. Mr. Burns, true to tho intorests of the South and tho Le compton Constitution, voted to lay his appeal upon the table in opposition to his brother dem ocrats of the North, who supported Mr. Har ris' appeal, and sustained him by a voto of 111 to 109. This you will find in Congr ession al Globe, 2d vol., page 1100. Again: Mr. Montgomery introduced his amendment to tho Bill admitting Kansas under the Lceompton Constitution, and asked that it be referred to the Special Committee upon that subject, but Mr. Stephens of Geor gia opposed this reference, and moved that it be referred to the committee on Territories; a Committee which he knew was opposed to the Bill or amendment. Mr. Burns voted for Mr. Stephens' motion, while all the democrats of the North voted against it, thus tho second time showing his faithful adherence to his masters of the South. You will find this vote in Congressional Globe, vol. 2d, page 1150. Again. Mr. Stephens of Ceorgii, moved to tako up tho Bill for admitting Kansas un der tho Lceompton Constitution. Mr. G id-dings movod to reject the Bill. On this mo tion for rejection, Mr. Burns voted No. Ho was opposed to rcjocting the Lceompton Con stitution, lou will find this vote in Congres sional Globe, in vol. 2d, pago 1133. Again. Whon the voto was taken upon Montgomery's amondmcnt to the Kansas Bill, it was passed by a voto of 120 to 112. Mr. Burns voted against tho passage of this amendment, and in opposition to evervdemo- ciat of the North with one exception and yet ho claims that he has fulfilled tho will of his Constituents and acted upon the side of Irco dom. Yott w'll find this vote in Concession. al Globe, in vol. 2J, page 1137, Again. After the English Bill was report ed. it being entirely new, tho members asked time to investigato it, so that they could vote undcrstandingly. Mr. Hill mado a motion to that effect, to postpono the action of the House for a few days upon this Bill. Mr. Burns voted no. He was so anxious for tho parage of this infamous Bill be was not willing that they should understand it. You will find this voto in Congressional Globe vol. 2d, pago 17G8. ' Do you want any further evidence, fellow Citizen.", to prove Hums' recreancy to your wishes? Never in our history have we been so grossly misrepresented. If he had voted with his Democratic colleagues of the North upon most of these questions, ho tuigli havo the excuse that his party was with him but in every instanco, (with ono or two exeep tions,) he has voted with the South in direct opposition to votes of his democratic asso ciatos from Ohio,and notwithstanding all these recorded facts, which cannot bo controverted the democracy of this district, say he is a representative of our people. Can it bo that you will shut your eyes to these glaring acts of treachery, and givo him your support again in opposition to a man whose integrity and moral character is unimpeachable, a man who will do his whole duty, regardless of executive power? Burns is not a fit representative this intelligent people, cither intellectually or morally; for he has neither trait of charac ter very largely developed. Then, fellow citizens, do your duty and lot your disobedient servant know that ho cannot trample upon yonjr wishes with impunity, even if ho docs receive the smile of a corrupt Executive. It. C. KIRK ' For the lhnublieai. The Inconsistency of Mr. Burns Bno. CociiBAJt: Having a circular before me, issued by Joseph Burns, a few days before the last Congressional election, "To the elec tors oi tne loin congressional District in Ohio," and handed to mo by Mr. Wirnor of your city, in tho presence of tho dishonorable Jot Burn). Being thus particular in giving good authority for the genuineness of the document, wo hopo Mr. Burns' friends will not deny it, as some of (hem are In the habit of doing when reminded of tho promises made by their candidates before the election, only to bo disregarded when placed in office. But to the extract from tho circular of Burns; and when tho public have read it, they will be tbe judges, whether Mr. Burns has been faithful to the plodgcs he made to his constituents, or not. He charged the previous Congress with voting money into their own pockets unneces sarily by an increase of the'per diem oi'mcmbcrs when they wore getting enough already. llo said: "Congress has increased the per diem of members Iroin eigbt to sixtocn UoIIim, for wtiicli increase 1 we no great cause, tight dol. lars a day was considered enough in times gone bywhan there was as much talent, honesty and integrity exhibited, at least, as in the last Congress. ShoulJ I be honored with a seat in Congress, I shall voto to reinstate the pay of members to the old standard." Burnt was clcctsJ, went to Congress, did he so vote? Did ho ever open his mouth on the subject in .Congress? Did he refuse to take the extra eight dollari per day, ho said Congressmen were not justly entitled to? Has he even made an epol )gy to h!s constit uents since he came home, for his want of "honesty and integrity" as exhibited in the last Congress? Not a word has been heard from hiai; he has been as silent as death on the subject. But I must give you some more of this precious document, as Mr. Burns is again before the people for re-election, his constituents should be apprised of his former unfaithfulness to the trust confided to him as their Representative in tho National Councils of the greatest nation on earth. He said: "I have been asked, by numbers, if I am in luvor of the extension of Slavery? My answer is, no! And, again fnm asked, would I vote for a bill similar to Dunn's amendment? I again say emphatically, no! kkvhu, I consider that amendment' as voted lor ami nit by tlio menus of tlio measure, a complete license for, and an invitation held out to the slaveholders to take their slaves into Kansas and Nebraska, and virtually promises them that in the event of tbe people ol the Territories forming a free stato cunstitution, Slavery should still exist untill 1358; and nil children born of slave mothers should be slaves for life, by removing them to Slave States, although born in a Free State. My understanding is that the Kansas-Nebraska law holds out no inducement for slaveholders to tako their slaves there, and if they do so it will be at their own risk; they will, in the event of Kansas being a free State, be an' jeet to similar laws that a Kentuckian now would bo if ho brought his slaves into Ohio that is, lliey would be set free." Burns not in favor of extending Slavery? Then why, in the name of common lionestyi did he voto for the Lceompton Constitution for Kansas,which not only established Slavery in Kansas, but mado it perpetual? If ho was opposed to the extension ol Slavery, why was he so horrified at "Dunn's proposition" which gave the slaveholders the privilege of taking his Slaves out of tho Territory to a Slave State, or letting them remain and become free after tbe fust of January, 1858? 1 say why was his louder conscience so troubled in view of this proposition which would certuinlii. havo made Kansas a Free State, oftcr January, 1858, and tell his constituents, that he could never consent either to make Territory) Slave lerritory.or Slaves already there sho'd not, by his consent, be allowod to bo taken away, to remain in Slavery; and thcnj'whcn his seat in the House of Representatives, is secure, he deliberately turns right round, and labors and votes, directly in opposition to the phdyet he made before bis election, as was the caso in his voting for the English Bill; which not only proposedT to make Kansas a Slave State, but offered them a bribe to accept the bill and come in as a Slavo State, with 30 or 40,000 inhabitants, to the tune of over 2,000.- 000 acres of land; or, then be punished foi their rejection by staying out of the Union until they should got over 03,000 inhabitants? And what is worse than all, he has tho effrontery to como before his constituents forre-election, with all these political sins hanging around his nock. What say his friends in be. halfofsuchcoaduct? Anti-Locoinpton friends what say you for the man who has been false to the trust you reposed in him? What will you do now? Will you cast hiui aside and vote for a man worthy and Imesl, or will you vote for him again wilh tho expectation that ho will turn again and volo right the next time? AXTI LEJOMPTON.

Had Virginia applied the hundred millions of acres that she gavo to the United States in 1787,to this purposo, tho banks of her majestic rivers would now bo teeming with a thrifty white population, and strewn with cities, villages, and cottages. She would (among all of the States of the Federal Union) have been first in manufactures. Give me but a, lair field to combat my rivals I ask no other favor and tho triumph shall be mine. Your servant, ever faithful and truo. " HENRY ABRAM." Mr. Abram says he is confident that be will receive a considerable vote. If ho is allowed to receive votes at all, it will show a gratifying improvament in Virginiasentiment and manners. Yet he only occupies the ground taken twonty years ago by Mr. Falk-ner and ten years ago by Mr. Letcher, who are rival aspirants lor the Democratic nomination.03" The gold fever is raging in Kansas.

Neither hare any moans been provided for meeting the warrants falling duo noxt March. Tho law authorizing the issuing of theso bonds mado no provisions for assessing a tax to moot such interest. During the last session of the Legislature, a law was enacted that empowors us to borrow monoy for this purposo, ns woll as to assoas a tax to pay tho same. When dotorraing the amount of the lovy for tho coming yoar, it appearing that it would require a lovy equal to, or groator than that of lost year, in order to meet the othor dents and oxponses of the oounty nooosaa-ry to be provided for.

Such stockholders have not only no-glected to pay thoir intercat, but deny thoir liability to the oounty. A auit has boen commenced in your Court for tho purposo of testing this liability; wo hopo soon to hoar of the mat tor being determined in such a way as will do juatico to tho people of the eounty, and as will enable hortomoet her liability on hor bonds without resorting to taxation.

Tho amount of County orders outstanding at the time of this ment, was about $390.

Under existing circumstances, (the result admitting of no rational doubt,) it should bo a matter of duty as well as pride with our people, to make the victory a aingte one to crush out all such abominations as Lecomptcn and tho English Swindle forever from this free commonwealth. We owe to ourselves and to the nation, to rebuke with severity those Representatives who have so disgracefully betrayed their constituents, and so insulted the people of every free State, by voting for a bill which offered ''strong inducements" to the citizens of Kansas to come into the Union as a Slave State, despite thoir repeatedly manifested will, and refusing them admission as a Free State on any terms, until after another census, and even then, unless the population has meantime increased to twice or thrico the number declared sufficient for a Slave State. And not the least, we should place Ohio emphatically on the right side, for the contest for 18CO Our State ticket will undoubtedly receive a large majority of the popular vote. There are, fortunately, but two tickets in the field. That f the opposition is one of tho ablest, and every way best, ever presented f:r the suf- irage or our people, nvcry nominee on it is worthy of public confidence, and has especial fitness for the place to which be is named. Perhaps, also, there could not well have been one made up more satisfactory alike to He publicans, Americans and independent men ol all kinds, who like to vote lor tne uttest can didates, without regard to party machinery. Messrs. peck, Wolcott. TnitALLand Mabtis are men whom all citizens of Ohio will be proud of as officers of our government. The election ol these nominees by an ovorwhelmingmajor ity, will at tho same time hi a richly merited rebuke to a corrupt and treacherous Admin istration, and to its obsequious tools that controlled the Columbus Convention of the 29th July last. Those "hired minions" of Bu chanan proposed to the people of Ohio, to put their endorstnent and seal upon the lnlamous English bill, anil committed their State tick et to tho test. Tho issue should be promptly accepted, and a decisive response truly re turned. Moro important still, if possible, aro the elections in our several Congressional Districts, All over the State, the Democracy havo selec ted as candidates for Congress, cither men who as present members, voted directly (or the Lceompton scliemo itself, or clsofori's "meaner" substitute, which ultimately passed or men who stand on the Columbus l'latiorm. which fully, and in p! tin terms, commits them to the English dodge, and virtually to the original iniquity also, and the "favorite meas ure" of the Administration, if thero are one or two exceptions, where the Anti-Lecomp' tonites indignantly refused a nomination to their ' etrnyors, we have yet to learn that in even these cacs, tho candidates do not stand with their party on the English swindle plat form, which keeps Kansas out of the Union, for being so contumacious as not to come in as a Slave State, on invitation of Congress, with "strong inducements" added. Against these, the opposition have nominated candidates of marked ability and reliable character men committed to tuo right, and worthy or sup port from all who love honesty and fuir deal ing in public affairs. They are candidates on whom ovory opponent el the present Admin istration can and should cordially unite. Ohio owes it to tne country to repudiate, with an emphasis, every cardidato committed to the auppoi t of the National Adminutrat:on. She ehould not have a single representative of that stamp in tho next Congress. Such will be tbe caso, if her people havo any grata fulsensocf whet they owe to the JofJerson- ian Ordinanco, and to those free principles for which we are contending, against all the power of a Federal Government, which labors in season and out of Sanson, to supplant them, and t make tho influences of Slavery predominant throughout tho land. Let us have a full and decisive yordict on these matters, at every precinct. Let us fair ly exhibit the Opposition strength, by a united and complete vote. No man should ex cuse himself in this war. Thorough and ear nest woik should be done, from this time un til tho day of election. 1 bo enemy is dcubly vigilant, to compensate for the injustice and unpopularity ol his cauro. Wo must take care that tho honest opirions of the people are not overborne through inaction or an indolont Mnse of security. Our State ticket Ehould be elected by at least 20,000 majority, and with proper attention and a full vote it will bo. Cm. Qatelle. (fiT C..A.

True to Hii Calling; and to His FeelingB, Tho editor of tho Burns oriran in our town villifles Mr. Helmick for attending the Wost T, . I r i ir.il n . uuuiuru uieuiuuist vamp Meeting last week Asa is peculiarly unfortunate in this nettv at. tack for everybody about here knows that be bimsell is not much of a church-cocr. and that his favorite candidate for Congress never attends roligious meetings, oxcept at the fune rals oi ueccasca relatives. Aeed men who ohva known him for thirtr years will toll you -that General Burns has been very seldom inside of a church perhaps a ucweii uuius in mat long period. 110 bad a right tostay away from church if lie chose to do so we have no particular complaint to make about that; but we do think the General can and should prevent his mouth-piece, the Democrat, from abusing those who choose to pcrsue a uiirerent course in religious mat' ters. . ' v i Mr. Helmick has been an officer in the Moth odist Church for many years, and had a right to attend that Camp Reeling and Gen. Burns' organ had no right to abuse him for so doing. But the Burns organ charges Mr. Helmick with going to that Camp Meeting for tbe purpose of "electioneering," and exclaims that it is "scandalous." The editor of that shcot should remember that "to the l ure in heart all things are pure;" and if he had been "puro in ncart," no never could navo mustered up sufficient courage to empugn an honest man's motive and tell so base a lie. A Good Hit. Tho charactor of Presdent Buchanan is thus correctly described by Thurlow Weed, in the Albany, (N. Y.) Evening Journal: "He ontored the White Houso with a promise ol freedom to Kansas on his lips, and a scheme for enslaving it in his pocket, lie declared war against circulating notes, and in six weeks was issuing them himself. Before the ink was dry with which he nledced 'Economy," he had drained the treasury of its last uoiiar. isoiore tne printers were done stereotyping his inflexible determination never to borrow, he was in Wall street soliciting a loan! He congratulated tho county on the final end of slavery agitation and has been agitating it ever sinco. Ho ordered Paulding to stop the fillibustcrs, and then recalled him for doing it. Walker, of Nicaragua, ho pronounced an outlaw, and tendered him the hospitalities ol the White House; Walker of Kansas, ho furnUhcd with written instructions and turned him out for obeying tbem. Ho withheld the troips from Utah, where he proclaimed war, in order to keep them in Kansas, where ho insisted all was peace.' Ho soils forts at the wost for a titho of their cost, in order to buy sites at tho east at ten times their value his subordinates in both eases pocketing the difference. Ho is continually asking for new steam frigates, but he will not use thoso he has either on tho coast of Africa or in the Gulf of Mexico. Ho sends out a steamer, ostensibly to catch the s: earner Styx, and orders it to do nothing of the sort. Claiming to be the most frugal of Presidents, ho has spent more than unv of his predecessors.

A PnEDicnos Verified. The eccentric John Randolph, of Virginia, once said, from his seat in Congress: "The South is as tweof the Democracy of me avoTin, aioj meir negroes'." Verily, John Randolph was a prophot. In the cotton fields ol the South there dwells not a degradod slave who hows bis head in more abject and servile submission to the lash of the oversoer, .than do the Democracy of -.uo iwuu, uiu uiuua, ui uiu wilip 01 iue aouinern siavenoidors.

UMia Jlepuotic. Sad Lovb Story. An episode in this year's yellow fever history is recorded by the St. Louis Jlepublican. A young girl of Bordeaux fell in love with an American sailor a native of Maine who happened to be in France, and she eloped with him to America to be married, as her parents were averse to the match. They arrived a short time since at Now Orleans, wore married thoro.but, terrified at tho ravages of the yellow fever, hastened to St. Louis in hopes to escape it. The grim monster, however, had obtained a hold in the young man's vital's, and be arrived at bis destination only to die. The poor French girl, many miles away from her relatives and acquaintances, aflor all her trials and sac rifices, when scarce a wife, is made a widow. and must depend upon charity for subsis tence. CoNartEssioitAT- Nominations Hon. John A. Bingham has been renominated bv the Re publicans of the 21st district of Ohio.

LOOK AT THE RECORD. GEN. BURNS' VOTES IN CONGRESS. Look at tho record, ond then decide whoth-cr you can volo for Burns and whethor the professions of Mr. .Burns aro true, when he says lie wai, not in favor of the Lceompton Constitution, and is in favor of freedom. Whon Mr. Harris, a democrat 'of Illinois' one of the minority of the Conference Com. mittce, asked lcavo to report to the House the reason why the mnjority of that Committee would not comply with tho provisions of tho resolution which appointed them to investi gate the facts concerning the Lecompton Constitution, tho Speaker decided that he had not that privilege, Mr. Harris appealed from the decision of the Chair. Mr. Burns, true to tho intorests of the South and tho Le compton Constitution, voted to lay his appeal upon the table in opposition to his brother dem ocrats of the North, who supported Mr. Har ris' appeal, and sustained him by a voto of 111 to 109. This you will find in Congr ession al Globe, 2d vol., page 1100. Again: Mr. Montgomery introduced his amendment to tho Bill admitting Kansas under the Lceompton Constitution, and asked that it be referred to the Special Committee upon that subject, but Mr. Stephens of Geor gia opposed this reference, and moved that it be referred to the committee on Territories; a Committee which he knew was opposed to the Bill or amendment. Mr. Burns voted for Mr. Stephens' motion, while all the democrats of the North voted against it, thus tho second time showing his faithful adherence to his masters of the South. You will find this vote in Congressional Globe, vol. 2d, page 1150. Again. Mr. Stephens of Ceorgii, moved to tako up tho Bill for admitting Kansas un der tho Lceompton Constitution. Mr. G id-dings movod to reject the Bill. On this mo tion for rejection, Mr. Burns voted No. Ho was opposed to rcjocting the Lceompton Con stitution, lou will find this vote in Congres sional Globe, in vol. 2d, pago 1133. Again. Whon the voto was taken upon Montgomery's amondmcnt to the Kansas Bill, it was passed by a voto of 120 to 112. Mr. Burns voted against tho passage of this amendment, and in opposition to evervdemo- ciat of the North with one exception and yet ho claims that he has fulfilled tho will of his Constituents and acted upon the side of Irco dom. Yott w'll find this vote in Concession. al Globe, in vol. 2J, page 1137, Again. After the English Bill was report ed. it being entirely new, tho members asked time to investigato it, so that they could vote undcrstandingly. Mr. Hill mado a motion to that effect, to postpono the action of the House for a few days upon this Bill. Mr. Burns voted no. He was so anxious for tho parage of this infamous Bill be was not willing that they should understand it. You will find this voto in Congressional Globe vol. 2d, pago 17G8. ' Do you want any further evidence, fellow Citizen.", to prove Hums' recreancy to your wishes? Never in our history have we been so grossly misrepresented. If he had voted with his Democratic colleagues of the North upon most of these questions, ho tuigli havo the excuse that his party was with him but in every instanco, (with ono or two exeep tions,) he has voted with the South in direct opposition to votes of his democratic asso ciatos from Ohio,and notwithstanding all these recorded facts, which cannot bo controverted the democracy of this district, say he is a representative of our people. Can it bo that you will shut your eyes to these glaring acts of treachery, and givo him your support again in opposition to a man whose integrity and moral character is unimpeachable, a man who will do his whole duty, regardless of executive power? Burns is not a fit representative this intelligent people, cither intellectually or morally; for he has neither trait of charac ter very largely developed. Then, fellow citizens, do your duty and lot your disobedient servant know that ho cannot trample upon yonjr wishes with impunity, even if ho docs receive the smile of a corrupt Executive. It. C. KIRK ' For the lhnublieai. The Inconsistency of Mr. Burns Bno. CociiBAJt: Having a circular before me, issued by Joseph Burns, a few days before the last Congressional election, "To the elec tors oi tne loin congressional District in Ohio," and handed to mo by Mr. Wirnor of your city, in tho presence of tho dishonorable Jot Burn). Being thus particular in giving good authority for the genuineness of the document, wo hopo Mr. Burns' friends will not deny it, as some of (hem are In the habit of doing when reminded of tho promises made by their candidates before the election, only to bo disregarded when placed in office. But to the extract from tho circular of Burns; and when tho public have read it, they will be tbe judges, whether Mr. Burns has been faithful to the plodgcs he made to his constituents, or not. He charged the previous Congress with voting money into their own pockets unneces sarily by an increase of the'per diem oi'mcmbcrs when they wore getting enough already. llo said: "Congress has increased the per diem of members Iroin eigbt to sixtocn UoIIim, for wtiicli increase 1 we no great cause, tight dol. lars a day was considered enough in times gone bywhan there was as much talent, honesty and integrity exhibited, at least, as in the last Congress. ShoulJ I be honored with a seat in Congress, I shall voto to reinstate the pay of members to the old standard." Burnt was clcctsJ, went to Congress, did he so vote? Did ho ever open his mouth on the subject in .Congress? Did he refuse to take the extra eight dollari per day, ho said Congressmen were not justly entitled to? Has he even made an epol )gy to h!s constit uents since he came home, for his want of "honesty and integrity" as exhibited in the last Congress? Not a word has been heard from hiai; he has been as silent as death on the subject. But I must give you some more of this precious document, as Mr. Burns is again before the people for re-election, his constituents should be apprised of his former unfaithfulness to the trust confided to him as their Representative in tho National Councils of the greatest nation on earth. He said: "I have been asked, by numbers, if I am in luvor of the extension of Slavery? My answer is, no! And, again fnm asked, would I vote for a bill similar to Dunn's amendment? I again say emphatically, no! kkvhu, I consider that amendment' as voted lor ami nit by tlio menus of tlio measure, a complete license for, and an invitation held out to the slaveholders to take their slaves into Kansas and Nebraska, and virtually promises them that in the event of tbe people ol the Territories forming a free stato cunstitution, Slavery should still exist untill 1358; and nil children born of slave mothers should be slaves for life, by removing them to Slave States, although born in a Free State. My understanding is that the Kansas-Nebraska law holds out no inducement for slaveholders to tako their slaves there, and if they do so it will be at their own risk; they will, in the event of Kansas being a free State, be an' jeet to similar laws that a Kentuckian now would bo if ho brought his slaves into Ohio that is, lliey would be set free." Burns not in favor of extending Slavery? Then why, in the name of common lionestyi did he voto for the Lceompton Constitution for Kansas,which not only established Slavery in Kansas, but mado it perpetual? If ho was opposed to the extension ol Slavery, why was he so horrified at "Dunn's proposition" which gave the slaveholders the privilege of taking his Slaves out of tho Territory to a Slave State, or letting them remain and become free after tbe fust of January, 1858? 1 say why was his louder conscience so troubled in view of this proposition which would certuinlii. havo made Kansas a Free State, oftcr January, 1858, and tell his constituents, that he could never consent either to make Territory) Slave lerritory.or Slaves already there sho'd not, by his consent, be allowod to bo taken away, to remain in Slavery; and thcnj'whcn his seat in the House of Representatives, is secure, he deliberately turns right round, and labors and votes, directly in opposition to the phdyet he made before bis election, as was the caso in his voting for the English Bill; which not only proposedT to make Kansas a Slave State, but offered them a bribe to accept the bill and come in as a Slavo State, with 30 or 40,000 inhabitants, to the tune of over 2,000.- 000 acres of land; or, then be punished foi their rejection by staying out of the Union until they should got over 03,000 inhabitants? And what is worse than all, he has tho effrontery to como before his constituents forre-election, with all these political sins hanging around his nock. What say his friends in be. halfofsuchcoaduct? Anti-Locoinpton friends what say you for the man who has been false to the trust you reposed in him? What will you do now? Will you cast hiui aside and vote for a man worthy and Imesl, or will you vote for him again wilh tho expectation that ho will turn again and volo right the next time? AXTI LEJOMPTON.
